Narrative:

En route to las on the lynsy 1 arrival, between lynsy and mirok waypoints. Prior to receiving runway assignment, FMS was inadvertently programmed for runway 1L/right arrival via fixlu waypoint. At the time runway 25L assignment was received we were contending with light to moderate turbulence and icing conditions. Prior to reprogramming FMS, autoplt initiated a turn west toward fixlu versus utare as desired. I engaged heading mode and initiated a turn toward utare. ATC controller queried our direction of travel to which we replied we were 'turning back toward utare.' controller issued a heading. Remainder of arrival was uneventful. After landing. I called the controller and explained as noted above. He advised that was all he needed. After the fact, I saw the note on the lynsy 1 arrival advising aircraft to proceed via landing runway 25L unless otherwise instructed by ATC. Lessons learned: prepare early, avoid distrs, and carefully review procedures to include all notes.
